We heard from a listener in Chicago who, like many of us, loved Lady Gaga's album Mayhem.

Jonathan from Boston wanted to tell us about a band from the UK called Sleep Token and their new album, Even in Arcadia.

Sergio from Southern California told us he's been loving the latest dance pop records.

Now, along with music recommendations, a lot of you sent in TV recommendations, too.

Jennifer from East Valley, California, said she was absolutely obsessed with Severance.

I watched each episode every week.

I listened to the podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott.

And, of course, I own Severance merch.

Jerry from Chicago made a pitch for Andor, even if you aren't a Star Wars fan.

And a listener named Jess told us they were into Grey's Anatomy, which I have to confess I didn't realize is still airing on ABC and is in its 22nd season.

With so much out there to navigate, I asked Sam and Anne about their TV standouts this year.

Which the actors won.

I mean, a lot of awards were handed out for this show earlier this year.

It's so true.

It was a great show.

It really stuck with me, I've got to say.

I have a son.

I have a toddler who's turning two soon.

And I am pregnant right now with a second son.

And I'm just thinking a lot about raising sons and this world we live in and being young and online.
